Still waiting, good sir.

You don't really need to wait, it's technically already done:

https://github.com/atrac17/MiSTer_Integ ... _alt_1.ini

Kinda, yeah. They all work.

Thanks for your work on these!

Do you have any plans to add modes for popular older arcade cores as well (e.g Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Galaga, etc.)?

What more needs to be done?

I got mine today (2xHDMI), works perfectly at any framerate, it's AWESOME!

I got mine today. I've been having a lot of fun with it. Everything was working great with the atrac17 6x mode but now, for some reason the Genesis core causes the screen to completely shut off. 4 bars of white fade onto the screen then it shuts off. Screen goes black and the light on the board turns off. The Genesis core was working totally fine earlier.

This is the one I purchased. I've tried a brand new HDMI cable as well as a few other mini hdmi to hdmi cables I've had laying around so I don't think it's that. I also don't feel it's the power supply as I've tried multiple different power supplies as well. Any ideas?
edit: Upon closer inspection it appears that it flashes a frame of the game (Like a sega logo) before the shutdown process

Another edit: For some reason, the 240p test suite rom works just fine?

Another another edit: I disabled auto region and it appears to be working properly now.

The core was probably trying to run it at PAL 50hz and your display driver is the one that can't handle 50hz.

Yeah, that's for sure what it was. Bummer. Another question for those in this thread, what's the best way to get the Gameboy core to fill the screen? Currently it's small and centered with the 6x integer scale video modes posted in this thread.

I'm sorry, but are you really sure? Because I ran into the same problem of the Genesis core booting into PAL with NTSC games from bad default settings when I first started using my Mister and I know my monitor can handle 50hz.

Okay, so I'm getting HDMI with my mister...

I'm getting my IPAD screen to output HDMI on every device except for my mister. I have no idea what's going on here.

What settings in the INI would prevent me from seeing an image on this screen? I'm a total loss as to why this would be happening.

That’s likely because you are using the included HDMI cable. Get a new high speed HDMI cable, and it should work with MiSTer’s 1536p output.

I just received mine, from the link in the first post.

- It is leaking light at the base (maybe it could be because it is being pressurized by the housing).
- It has a slightly "bald" part, as if the panel had been hit from behind.
- It does NOT work with 5v through the micro-usb, only 12v through the transformer.... Bummer, I wanted to make a mini arcade with Mister and all powered with a big 5v power bank.
Any of you have solved it? any advice? maybe some electronic board to switch from 5v to 12v?
Do you see feasible that a power bank power everything including the Mister?

In the meantime, I'm going to complain to the Chinese for the failures of the screen, to see if I get a replacement because if not, it's not cool to play with those failures.

What power sources have you tried to use with the Micro USB port?

Mine requires a high power source such as an Apple 20W charger or a high power charge port on my NUC. It will not power correctly from the MiSTer or several other USB power adapters I have.

Same here, seems like MiSTer is unable to power it, screen goes on/off.

Update, I have complained to Aliexpress and they "send me to hell"....
Neither the seller nor Aliexpress are responsible. I have paid 80€ (91 US dollars) in the case of shipping to Spain and thrown in the trash.
The light leakage is scandalous, I can't use the screen...

They tell me to send the product to China if I want a full refund (paying for shipping myself).
Sending to China from Spain something of that volume is more expensive than the item itself....

So gentlemen, I do NOT recommend buying that screen.
It is playing the lottery.

I hope someday I can buy another one from places like Amazon, where there is buyer protection.

Unfortunately, that's one of the downfalls with ordering from Aliexpress.

I ordered an item a couple years ago, was nothing like advertised. I filed a complaint with paypal, went around and around with the seller and finally they agreed to accept the return however to ship the item back it cost more than the item to begin with.

It's a gamble. Fortunately I ordered this screen and haven't had an issue with it.

I got mine today and have the same problem. Using a 4K amazon HDMI cable.

Try this ini and see if it works: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atrac ... _alt_1.ini

Has anyone got a link for the case only, got the screen but a case on it's own would be great.

LaserBear sells 2 different cases but you have to make sure that the controller board is the right one (the CRT version has links to the screen/controller).

I'm having the same problem, this ini file didn't work for me. just a black screen.

I got mine recently (from Aliexpress, 2 mini hdmi) and it seems to work fine using an old amazon cable I had lying around. It is able to power on connected directly to a computer, a MiSTer USB hub or a 5v charger. I use atrac17's preconfigured .ini with 6x modelines and so far everything has worked fine, with full screen and a very nice image quality, colors, etc...

My main issues with it:
- My screen has a couple of small stains that annoy me but they're not a deal breaker
- Playing during the day is great but on a dark room the light leakage around the edges is very distracting
- There is no way to change the brightness (the controls don't do anything) and again it makes it very uncomfortable at night on a dark room.
- I found a dead pixel and now I can't unsee it

I knew what I was getting (expectations about build quality were low) and overall I'm very happy with the purchase. Having a portable 4:3 screen with this image quality, supported by MiSTer, that can be rotated easily, doesn't require it's own power supply and for a reasonable price is great.

Have you tried plugging in a different hdmi source besides the mister? I had the same problem, but the screen would display a picture with my laptop, so I knew the screen was ok.

Ended up figuring out I needed to strip the CEC out of the cable. Luckily I already use the CEC-less cable from mister addons, so I ran that from my mister into a coupler with the hdmi mini cord to the screen and it started working perfectly.

Good luck, hope that helps!

Stairwaytoevan wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 9:45 pm Can anyone recommend a screen protector for this? Difficult to find one that just covers the screen. My 2 year old loves to play with me, and he thinks everything is a touch screen.

I couldn’t find any tempered glass protectors that were the right size, but if you order one of the “matte” screen protectors for an 10.2” iPad, you’ll be able to cut to fit. Not as good solution as one of the glass types, but will at least protect from minor scratches.

Update Nov 22, 2021, two months later: seems to link to a different product now. I changed the link to the new listing on the same store, but note that this has not been verified by anyone yet. It does seem like they did this to increase the shipping cost — which is understandable — but buyer beware, I have not personally verified this one. Pretty likely that it’s just the same product with $8 more in shipping, but do let us know how it works out if you order one.

I see I'm not the only one who got a faulty screen... what a lottery.
Claim to Aliexpress, with luck maybe they will at least refund part of the money.
It's not right that they sell you a product that is already defective and want to charge you 100% of the money.

The seller is "smart" and irresponsible.

In my case, I'm looking for replacement iPad 3 screens...
I'm going to try to take off the current one to at least try to take advantage of the casing and electronics.

That's the price you pay for using aliexpress or any other "direct-from china" website.

I received mine practically DOA, but we were able to get a replacement pcb sent after an extensive session of troubleshooting. Thank goodness the AliExpress chat has an auto translate feature

Ordered some time ago - the LP097QX1 9.7 Ipad screen plus LCD controller board - works fine but need a case for it.

Did find this on aliexpress - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003309992232.html but it has VGA out where the controller board I have has HDMI & mini HDMI. Looking for something similar, what is everyone else using for a case.

Mine arrived today. And it can't hold sync with vsync_adjust 2 (low lag)
Tested some CPS2 games and DoDonPachi. Both worked on a firend's screen. But desync a lot on mine
